The Jewish Museum is never built?



Cologne - And out! The one with the creation of a foundation, and the promised million-Payment Defaulting makers association is deregistered by the planned Jewish museum.
"I assume the club so good will," said Mayor Fritz Schramma yesterday. "But obviously there is no money here! Therefore, we must act now. "
Finally, it is not just the Jewish Museum at the Town Hall square in danger, and the Archaeological Zone: "If we do not believe there in the fall and a decision on construction start in 2010 with the construction, we will support tens of millions of dollars lost."
Yesterday OB Schramma and Cultural Affairs Prof. Georg Quander presented three alternatives to the Council on 30 June, submitted: The architects Wandel, Hoefer Lorch & honing the design, the city takes over the costs and sponsorship.
"That would be our favorite," said Schramma and Quander: "We would integrate the museum into the archeological zone. What should be shown in the original plan, the museum, already belongs to large parts of the city! "
Is also possible to build the museum as targeted. "But that makes little sense, because, for example, two inputs and two dressing rooms are provided." The third alternative was to adjust the plans.
To lift the additional costs in probably tens of millions to be able to Schramma wants to take the country into an obligation. "And if the club still pays, he may be happy to sponsor ..."
